Hand-Dyed Isager Silk Mohair Lace, Watermelon Lime — Super Kid Mohair / Silk, 927yd / 3.5oz

Watermelon flesh and rind in mohair form — hot pink-magenta pulled across vivid lime green, with the undyed silver-cream halo softening the edges between them. Two matched skeins from one run.

The cleanest two-colour story in the set: lime-and-magenta, summer-bright. Worked alone, the colours puddle into a soft watercolour where the two collide; held over a white or pale base, you get the watermelon-on-a-plate version. Either way it carries a summery, high-contrast cheer that the mohair halo gentles rather than dulls.

This listing is for one full skein. We have 2 skeins of Watermelon Lime — lime green & hot magenta in stock; buy one or all of them. Each skein is approximately 100 g / 3.5 oz / 848 m / 927 yards, laceweight Isager Silk Mohair.l — the listed skeins are a matched dye-lot from one hand-dyed run.

About the base. Hand-dyed by an anonymous indie artist on Isager Silk Mohair — a Danish mill classic, 75% super kid mohair / 25% silk, spun to a fine lace gauge of 848 m / 927 yards per 100 g skein. The mohair gives a soft, glowing halo that catches light the way frost catches sun; the silk holds colour with the quiet intensity that mohair alone can’t. Worked on its own it knits airy and translucent — the colourway floating in a cloud rather than sitting on a strand. Held double with a fingering or sport, it adds a halo of colour over a plainer base, the way watercolour adds depth over a pencil sketch.
